Abstract

L'invention concerne un adaptateur de fibre optique durci (110) qui peut comprendre une partie de corps (130) ayant une première partie d'extrémité qui est configurée pour recevoir un connecteur de fibre optique durci (1110) et une seconde partie d'extrémité qui peut être située à l'opposé de la première partie d'extrémité, une partie de fil de câble de fibre flexible (104) qui peut comprendre un câble de fibre optique (104a) et une partie de tube de protection (104b) qui peut être configurée pour entourer le câble de fibre optique (104), et une partie de sous-ensemble d'adaptateur (152) qui peut être configurée pour être couplée à une extrémité pré-terminée du câble de fibre optique (104) au niveau d'une première partie d'extrémité du fil de câble de fibre flexible (104). Une seconde partie d'extrémité de la partie de fil de câble à fibre flexible (104) peut être configurée pour être couplée à une borne de chute (100) de telle sorte que l'adaptateur (110) est autorisé à être déplacé par rapport à la borne de chute (100) à une orientation de connexion prédéterminée qui est configurée pour permettre à l'adaptateur (110) d'être connecté à un connecteur de fibre optique durci (1110).
